0 and 16 would be great
in order to get that extraordinary draft pick…
but what position would you pick?
After the coach I mean

Pat I couldn't agree more. I really hope Mangini, Kokinis, or Lerner read these articles. If everyone else is seeing whats going on then why can't they?? Right side of the line is terrible, and our running backs are mediocre at best. Why can't we get someone at OC who changes up the playcalling a bit. I know they have more plays in their book than the twelve they keep running.

I think the only way the Browns top 0-16 is if its 0-16 and no offensive touchdowns.

I would hope that the players and coaches find the same page and get on it and quit this you-know-what contest. People fought to get this city a franchise and this is how you treat those folks?

Sean, I was thinking about that plan too…however, going 0-16 has lost some of its luster now that the Lions already did it, and because regardless of how high we pick in the draft, we typically misfire and end up with some bust. I'm just hoping that after we go enough time without winning a game or having a meaningful touchdown this season, Mangini will get the boot so he can go enjoy yet another buffet and play his mind games with the restaurant staff instead.

Charlie showed ineptitude over far more than 10 quarters.

No doubt Pat, this mess goes way beyond who is QB. With a weak front line we have to play 2 Tight ends so one can stay in to block for St.Clare , while the other goes out for a 5 yrd. Pass, which in turn takes away a spot for a receiver. The Browns running game is non-existent, 1 old back with old legs and 2 guys who are unproven.
The play calling has been putrid and predictable, our linebackers are the worst in football and we have no ability to stop a pass or breakaway run.
To use the QB as a scope goat for this mess is like blaming the sinking of the Titanic on the cook back in steerage.

What will happen Sunday? Will the Indians score more runs or will the Browns score more points? I'm taking the Indians.

Rumor has it that the Dolan's have already signed Mike Sarbaugh, their AA Manager, to a 3 year deal, with a club option for a 4th year, to be the new Manager of the Indians. Shapiro is quoted, "We feel Mike is very sound in what we as an organization want to accomplish, and with his knowledge of our young players, he was a perfect fit to step into the Managerial role." "Just in talking and knowing Mike, I feel he will be dynamic as a Manager."
On another note, Torey Lovullo will be the Bench Coach, as he was also signed to a 3 year deal with a club option for a 4th.

Pat,
Did we scare you off in your search for a new blog mistress? No new candidates recently…

I'm sticking with MY new game plan, which is rooting for the Browns to lose every single game, score zero points, and continue being the utter laughingstock of the NFL. That's the only way we'll get the Water Boy Coach out of Cleveland. Lerner must be in love with him, or something. Wonder if he's still foaming at the mouth for Water Boy after these first 3 games?

Go Bengals!
